The Fraud of the Century Never in human history have basic freedoms been taken away on such a global scale. Unscrupulous scientists genetically enhanced a cold virus to make it more lethal, and power-hungry bureaucrats used fear to impose punitive lockdowns, destroy lives and businesses, and threaten people with their jobs for refusing an experimental vaccine. What if none of this had to happen? What if tests were manipulated to guarantee false positive results? What if the number of Covid deaths was grossly exaggerated? What if safe, effective treatments were withheld? What if the very real dangers of the vaccine are being concealed from the public? Dr. Michael Crossley is an E.R. physician who's been living on the frontlines of the pandemic. In this book, he shows you what conditions are like on the ground. What you learn might surprise you. These are the truths about Covid-19 that you won't get from the government or the media. They are the observations of a doctor in the trenches.

A powerful yet often unnoticed force in our lives is microstress, the hidden epidemic of small moments of anxiety that infiltrate our work and personal spheres. Each microstress is too minor to trigger a typical stress response, leading to an accumulation of these small pressures over time. This buildup can have devastating long-term effects, weighing us down and harming our physical and emotional health while diminishing our overall well-being. Unlike traditional stressors, the sources of microstress often stem from those closest to us—friends, family, and colleagues—rather than external antagonists. The good news is that awareness of microstress equips us to combat it. Drawing on innovative research, the authors provide insights on recognizing and managing common microstressors and even removing some from our lives. Through compelling interviews with high achievers who have faced microstress, they share best practices for building resilience and finding purpose in daily life. This journey offers a path to reclaiming your life from the grips of microstress. It's time to break free and start this transformative process.
